Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

[KacanuHa]

He has amazing phrasing, hands down. And a great sense of melody, which is not very common. Great player!

lights out!!



[AmundLauritzen]

Usually, players in the smooth jazz idiom don't have the blues and the groove right. But this guy's got it all going. The timing is just spot on! Loved every second of it. Thanks, Matt!

[F3FisGoodforYou]

[Musikgizelle]

If I had a guitar that I'd be the happiest person today.

[Musikgizelle]

I love your playing

[hamidfan]

is it a Heritage guitar ??

[howardsinclair]

@hamidfan I think Matt Otten is a Peerless endorsee, so it may be one of their guitars. He's head and shoulders above the pack when it comes to playing jazz on guitar.

Man, what a superb feel you've got. Great post. btw, just picked up your tubetracks #1. Really like it. I'm gearing up for your jazz exercises next... I'm tired of playing just scales. ;) Keep posting regularly please Mat. I really enjoy your videos.

[jujusunrise]

It's always nice to hear you, good vibes with a delicate touch

[stringbender57]

AWESOME! Such a nice groove. Doesn't get any better than this. Thanks Matt!

[cjoey39]

Hi Matt! I love your version of this Bill Withers classic! You have a laid back style that makes your version of this classic really come to life! Nice one!! Joey Vaughan "World Blues Attack"

[freesalute]

really liking the chord substitutions on the backing track... a lot!!!

[eloelo14]

OH MY!

Lijkt me geweldig

[ChengCheng91]

Reason why I love this

1) Sex

2) There's no other reasons

[Tuscopa]

@ChengCheng91 LOL

[Afrikitty]

You have made Bill Withers proud, I'm sure. UberSmooth stuff. Thank you very much.

[bobbysbackingtracks]

Beautiful playing Matt,superb!

[junka22]

great song and a smooth version, nice use of effects too. I like the snap you get from a 335 type guitar, what model is it btw?

[MrRFasters]

@junka22 I can answer that for Matt: it's his Peerless Renaissance he endorses. And he quite wisely does so ... :-)

It's not soo much a 335 siunce it doen't have a central soudn block. That's why it's way more Jazzy, I presume.

Question I would have for Matt wether we are listening to the stock pups clear into a PA, or that there are any effects active. Most of the time Matt plays "100 % clean into the PA, only some reverb".

Or is there anything changed there?

[junka22]

@MrRFasters hey, thanks for answering, I thought I heard a bit more acoustic or hollow sound, I guess that proves it

[theguitfiddle]

@MrRFasters It sounds like a chorus is engaged at around 1:11

Superb playing Matt!

[Chiffoneire]

@theguitfiddle yes.
